Tablular Form Items clear when error page is displayed! Please help.

Question

Hi All,
I have a page with various form items (2 of which are date pickers) along with a manual tabular form in it.
When ever I submit the page and it throws any validation error (pl/sql function returning error), all other form fields retain their value, except the fields in the tabular form.
The values get cleared only when user has clicked on the date picker icon. When user has not clicked on the date pickers, the tabular form retains its value.
Can anyone please tell me what is going on here? And how do I resolve the issue?
Thanks & Regards,
Sumana

Hi All,
More information on the issue.
The issue occurs only in IE. In FireFox, the tabular form elements retain their value.
I have build the tabular form as a report using sql query. Sample query is:
SELECT 1 Route_Order
, apex_item.text(35
,25
,100
,' onBlur="javascript:getLovVal(''f02_'||lpad(1,4,'0')||''',''f35_'||lpad(1,4,'0')||''',''ROUTEE'');" '
,'f35_'||lpad(1,4,'0')
,NULL
|| '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#htmldb/icons/small_find.gif"> ' Routee_Name
, NULL Routee_Name_Hidden
, NULL Project
, NULL Task
, NULL Award
, NULL Percent
, NULL Notify_Me
FROM DUAL
I then edited column attributes of Project, Task etc to text field/select list. It was originally Standard Report Column.
Thanks,
